Referring your patient
Here, you can learn more about our digital referral process, suitability criteria, wait list, shared care policy, and risk information.
Completing your patient’s self-report form
Your patient needs to complete a self-report form that you will submit on their behalf to us as part of the referral process.
The self-report form can be completed in one of two ways:
Patient-led
Your patient provides you with a completed self-report form.- You or your support team can then upload it within our digital referral process.
GP-led
- You wish to refer a patient but they have no self-report form.
- You can complete the digital self-report form with your patient during an appointment, or capture the results on paper and then upload them. Download the form here.
- Completing the self-report form can take up to 10 minutes, so it may not be possible to finish it within an appointment slot. Therefore, you are welcome to begin the process with your patient, and if time runs out, retain the information and complete it later.
